Buhari Why?

By Onyemaechi Ogbunwezeh

The
election of Muhammadu Buhari is gradually unravelling as a hagiography
ghost-written by Big oil and other vested-interests of imperial atrocity that
has continued to rapeAfricafor
600 years now.

Two
days ago, General Muhammadu Buhari, elected President of Nigeria on the 28th of
March, 2015, and who was about to be sworn in on the 29th of May, left Nigeria
under the clouds of darkness, whose opacity is unparalleled, and jetted out to
London for reasons no one has been able to decipher.

Buhari
Why?

His
press team came out to say that he went toLondonto rest. He travelled in the company
of Deziani Allison Madueke. Was this an accident? This would be an accident if
you believe that a politician would never lie.

This
journey raises serious questions of fundamental importance to all Nigerians.
Who actually ownsNigeria?
And who actually rulesNigeria?
And for whom do they rule this country?

Buhari meets with British PM Cameron

First and foremost, what is an issue so pressing and so important that a president elect has to leave his country a few days before his inauguration to jet out of his country to go and attend to? What it so important that it cannot wait until after his inauguration so that it would enjoy the public scrutiny such a journey should necessarily attract. How would Americans have reacted if Barack Obama, a few weeks to his inauguration jets out toRussiafor undisclosed reasons? Or Tony Blair jets out a few weeks to his inauguration as Prime Minister toChinajust to rest?

Buhari why?

Did Nigerians elect you so that you would go and genuflect before foreign interests to auction off our future and our aspirations? Did Nigerians elect you to go anddobaleto British imperial interests?

Buhari why? Why in God's name did you go toLondon?

I think that the same Anglo-American oil and economic hit-men that have compromised every Nigerian government since independence are at it again. Buhari was summoned toWhitehallto receive his instructions, and to drop that pretense to change upon which he rode to power. That does not serve the interests of British-American oil men. They will never brook that. He should hit the ground running and ensure that all American and British interests are protected even if Nigerians are dying of hunger.

*Muhammed Buhari, Tony Blair and Yemi Osibanjo

BritainandAmericanever loved democracy. They pretend to
love democracy. But when their interests are threatened by the democratic
expression of a people's sovereignity, they do all in their power to scuttle
that. Mark Curtis articulated it well in his book Unpeople, thus:

"It
seems to be inconcievable in the mainstream thatBritaincould be opposed to democracy inIraqor elsewhere. Rather, it is axiomatic
thatBritainis a supporter of democracy; the only
apparent concession is that some 'mistakes' might be made along the way or else
leaders may have too high 'ideals'. As a result. Blair's and Bush's statements
about wishing to bring democracy toIraqare rarely countered, even despite the
evidence that the opposite is the case... In the period of occupation alone,Britainhas given its backing blatantly to
flawed elections in Russia,ChechnyaandNIGERIA.
In truth, Britain and the US have a general aversion to genuine democracy,
particularly in the Middle East, where the most popular political movements
tend to have weird ideas about using resources for national development
purposes rather than for the benefit of western corporation"..p.21

Buhari went toLondonto be compromised. The change we believed we voted for has been sold off to the vested interests of imperial atrocity, whose bridgehead for rapingNigeriahas been Nigerian politicians since independence.

A president elect, who should be holding court in the territory he has been entrusted, to preside over; daring anyone who seeks his audience to come do obeisance at his feet and kiss his ring in his court, instead abandoned decorum and the integrity of his office, jetted out to London shroud in veils of secrecy without fanfare like an adulterous mistress visiting his lover, to do things that could not be published on the pages of a newspaper. This journey was sudden and so secret as to catch his Associates unawares. What was this secret meeting all about?

*Diezani Allison-Madueke

And
his press officer came out with the bullshit that he went toLondonto rest? Rest from what? To rest a few
days before his inauguration as President? What was he going to rest from? From
an election debate that he refused to show up for? Or what?

Buhari should tell
Nigerians what he went toLondonto do a few days to his inauguration.
Nigerians deserve to know to whom their destiny has been mortgaged to. This
journey is so very suspicious that we need serious inquiry into what our
president elect went out at night to do inLondon.
